hack to make GrandPrixLegens and N2002 work

Hi!

This is an more or less a straight forward hack to make the game grand prix
legends work. It will also effect other games from Papyrus.

The game has two problems:

1) It binds more than one time to the same port without doing an SO_REUSEADDR.
   Acording to UNP it is no big deal to do so - so i just force it.

2) The game sets SO_DONTROUTE on the socket. This works in linux and prevent
   the user of connecting to games in other networks. Either windows ignores
   the SO_DONTROUTE or it is not set in native windows or it is ignored. I
   dont have any opportunity to find out.

Another thing is a registry key the game expexcts:

[System\\CurrentControlSet\\Services\\Class\\NetTrans\\0000] 1027876728
"IPAddress"="192.168.66.6"

It runs with this setting (also N2002); maybe the dontroute problem could also
be solved, if the remaining keys to properly define the TCP/IP config for a
NIC in windows are set?!

So my plea: Could some windows network/socket guru point me in a direction to
do further investigations?

BTW: i can not imagine this "patch" makes it to the tree - but just to have it
said: The patch is under BSD License.

CU!
